CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

It seems you would advocate defunding the police, EB! You know there are many occasions where the police abuse their powers but no doubt you would say that those are the exception not the rule and shouldn't be used to taint the police as a whole. Yet in this case you suggest that examples of police going off on a frolic of their own should be used to taint the laws being enforced and the lawmakers' intentions. Did Dan Andrews urge police to use unlawful force? Maybe you have some private information about that, but it doesn't seem that anything in the public domain would support such a claim.

The difficulty of putting up anecdotal evidence of police that you know is that it's hard to refute what may be patent exaggerations. But in this case I'm happy to call BS. So Dan wanted police to "arrest mums and their kids" in the playground according to your impeccable sources. Really? I'm surprised your sources were in direct contact with him. Do you think that he might have expected fines to be handed out? Maybe you could get some photos of baby-sized handcuffs police were sent to round up offending toddlers.

And it's okay for police to use pepper spray and batons on the streets but not against violent protesters? How did the anti-vaxxers obtain an immunity from methods the police use generally? If you don't like the use of pepper spray and batons, you should be campaigning against their use by police, period. Tell your police mates/family they should refuse to carry them or use them. Make a stand on ethics which isn't situational.
